Subject: Permit Midas Gold

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

I am writing to share my thoughts on Midas Gold Idaho's Stibnite Gold project. There are many reasons why I am excited for Midas Gold's project should go forward.

Many of these miners have mined in Alaska were the environmental restrictions are significant. I know they can be productive in an environmentally sensitive manner, they always have. In addition, most love the outdoors. More then anyone miners value the earth God gave us. They can be both sensitive to our environment, which they live in and enjoy with their families, and be productive for the benefit of their families, our country and the world.

The USA and the world gains nothing by allowing other counties, with less restrictive regulations, to provide natural resources for us. We need the jobs and we are the best in the world at protecting the environment while being productive.

After reviewing the DEIS, I believe Alternative 2 is the best option. It limits the project footprint, protects waterways, improves water quality and improves the economic base in the area.

Midas Gold currently is the only company with a feasible plan to fix the long-standing legacy issues at the site.

Midas Gold will restore the site because of federal and state financial assurance laws, requiring Midas Gold to set aside funds for restoration and reclamation before any mining begins.

Thank you for the thorough review of the Stibnite Gold Project. I urge you to move forward and permit the mine using alternative 2, so Midas Gold can put Americans back to work.

Yours,

Valerie V. Mundt
